Coconut Pancakes with Leaftv

This is the last time I mention pancakes. Promise. (JK I would never promise such a thing.)

Today I’m bringing you Coconut Pancakes. For this pancake situation, I teamed up with my friends Geri and Erin of LEAFtv. If you’re unfamiliar, LEAFtv is a how-to concept (and soon-to-be shoppable video site) that’s fresh, fun and beautifully shot. And! Their music is always really awesome. You’ll start by watching one video and then find yourself having watched 10. They’re addicting!

We shot about six recipes/videos in one day and this is the first one to be released. These pancakes are some of my favorites–the flavors remind me of being on a tropical island with a pina colada and a book in my hand. I need this in my life soon. If you’re currently reading this from your iPad sitting on the beach, then I’m jealous. If you’re not, then, well, we have these pancakes.

Have a good weekend, friends. This was such a crazy and fulfilling week. Your comments on Tuesday’s post seriously made my week, my month, my year!

Wet Mix:

Mix-in:

Directions

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

In a measuring cup or small bowl, measure out the coconut milk. Add the cream of coconut, egg, and melted butter and beat until thoroughly combined.

All at once, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should have some small to medium lumps. Gently fold in the coconut flakes.

Preheat your skillet over medium heat and brush with 1 1/2 teaspoons of butter or a teaspoon onto the warm skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until small bubbles form on the surface of the pancakes, and then flip. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook on the opposites sides for 1 to 2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Transfer the cooked pancakes to a baking sheet and place in a preheated 200F oven to keep warm. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more butter or vegetable oil to the skillet when needed. Serve immediately.

Your pancakes are so fluffy… I don’t like “flat” pancakes! Do you ever beat your egg whites & fold them in? I’ve heard that makes a difference, but was wondering if you have ever experimented? I figured you were the one to ask since you have the cookbook, which I need to check out!

I urge you to try my basic buttermilk pancake recipe in my book–it yields pretty fluffy pancakes. And yes! I have a recipe in the book where you separate the egg whites and beat them and then fold them in. It works! Though it makes it kind of spongy so you have to be into that.

Hello! I just wanted to clarify what the “cream of coconut” was you used. Is it just the thick cream part that settles on the top of the can? Or, is it something like coco-lopez, the sweetened, syrup-y coconut that also comes in a can. Thanks so much!
